    I use drain tablets......all the time


    so whats the real question????? Cause I know you got one hidden there somewhere. Might as well come out with it now.
    I fully support the military and the War on Terrorism.


    If you don't know, then don't do. If you don't know and still do, then be prepared to pay someone else a lot to undo what you did and then do it right.

    If you do know, then do. But do it right. Otherwise, you may not be doing it long.

    I wouldn't. Just asking for a leak.
    Beware of advice given by some guy on the Internet.

    pan tabs are enzymes. like rid x in a septic tank. bleach, chlorine kills the enzymes and everything else, unfortunately it causes corrosion. pan tabs work great.

    Instant corrosion, not advised. Save the tablets for the pool and spa.

    What about putting bleach is the condensate vents (PVC)?

    Have roamed the HVAC isles at the big box stores; never saw pan tablets. Do they sell them?
